A Permanência no movimento: a pracialidade da Avenida Juscelino Kubitschek, João Pessoa-PB

Abstract

This paper studies the appropriation and Movement( se for de carros é traffic) of Juscelino Kubitschek Avenue, in the Ernesto Geisel neighborhood, in João Pessoa, Paraíba. Juscelino Kubitschek Avenue is centrally located in the neighborhood and is one of its main roads which, despite offering little - or none - accessibility and comfort to pedestrians, has established itself as a street of passage and permanence, with emphasis on night use for food and leisure purposes. Understanding the streets as the largest and main public space in the urban environment, we seek to investigate the current uses of the avenue, aiming to propose an urban test for the requalification of the street and the preliminary project of a section of this same object. The methods used were bibliographic and documentary research and various techniques for analyzing urban space. The information collected were systematized through cartograms, diagrams, texts and tables, supporting the development of the design proposal. As a result, a road redesign project and a preliminary project for a square were obtained, which gives movement to the street, adding quality of life and accessibility to pedestrians, in addition to harmonious urban mobility between modes, based on the principles of complete streets .
